WHOS FORTUNE (Izzie) FOR LOAN - Able to move yards, 12-18 months but term negotiable with contract.

Expressive 16.3hh, 6 year old, Hanoverian bay mare. Ideal for BD or even the show ring would make lovely novice hunter/ riding horse (if leaned off).
Izzie was bred for dressage but would also excel in the show ring as has straight movement and clean limbs with a trainable attitude and loves her work.

Izzies sire is Wanninger, he was the best German dressage stallion at the world championships in Zwolle 1998 and is 3/4 bred to Emma Hindle's Olympic dressage horse Lancet (7th in the individual Beijing 2008). He is also son of the famous Wenzel who was the sire of Walk on Top (Volvo World Cup Champion 1998). Wanninger's dam sire Shogun xx is the sire of eventing Olympic Champion Shamrock. Wanninger himself was Reserve Champion at his licensing in Verden, Germany and won and was placed at Grand Prix and GP Kur in the 1990's. Izzies Dam, Our Goldmine has lines including Goldstern and Odysseus. Both have produced many advanced eventers, dressage horses and top show horses.

Izzie has been owned from a foal so her full history is known. She was broken at home and brought on slowly at 4 but had a big growth spurt so was turned away until 5. She schools well, is forward going and really enjoys her work. She has straight expressive paces. Hacks out currently with company but would be fine by herself with a little more mileage as she’s only been hacked out on quiet roads with another young horse. Unfortunately not been competed yet due to owner’s injury last year. She is good to shoe, clip and handle but can be awkward to load, however, travels very quietly once on. This is mainly due to lack of mileage and I’m certain that she will improve as she starts to go out more as she is a quick learner. Unfortunately she is not a natural over a fence but excels in her schooling and loves a challenge so would be for loan for flatwork only. She is currently turned out 24/7 while the weather is good and is stabled during the nights in winter months.

Due to age and stage of education she must go to a competent and experience competition home where she won’t be wasted and will be used to her full potential. She is a blood horse and can be green so needs a confident jockey that has ridden young horse with similar breeding before, no novices, first timers or give it go jockeys please. Home is of the upmost importance for this very talented young mare.

Izzies is only for loan due to pregnancy and it wouldn’t be fair on her to miss another year competing. She is currently in intermittent work with a mixture of been lunged, long lined and ridden due to lack of jockey but won’t take long to fitten up.
